THE COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY

AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

• Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air as a power source.

• Air compressors used with the tool must comply with the appropriate

European Community Safety Directives.

• A build-up of moisture or oil in the air compressor will accelerate

wear and corrosion in the tool. ensure any moisture is drained from

the compressor daily and the inlet filter is kept clean.

• If an unusually long air hose is required, (over 8 metres), the line

pressure or the hose inside diameter may need to be increased.

• The air hose must be rated at least 150% of the maximum operating

pressure of the air tool.

• A typical air line layout is shown above. If an automatic in-line filter/

regulator is used, it will keep the tool in good condition, but should

be regularly checked and topped up with oil. SAE 10 oil should be

used and the lubricator adjusted to approx 2 drops per minute.

• The minimum hose diameter should be 5/16”(8mm) ID and fittings

should have the same internal dimensions.

WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU

ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF

COMPRESSORS AND COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

• Never exceed the maximum operating pressure for the tool. It is

recommended that air pressure to this tool does not exceed 6.2 bar

(90 psi) at the tool when running. Higher pressures and unclean air

will shorten the life of the tool due to faster wear and is a possible

safety hazard.

BEFORE USE

FITTING/REMOVING THE SANDING PAD

1. Rotate the eccentric wheel by

hand until the locking hole can be

seen through the slot in the front

housing.

2. Insert the drive locking tool into the

hole to stop the drive from

rotating.

3. Hold the drive locking tool firmly

while screwing on the sanding pad

clockwise. Make sure the sanding

pad is tight and secure.

4. The pad can be removed by unscrewing anticlockwise.

FITTING/REMOVING THE SANDING DISC

1. Fit the backing disc to the sander

by locking the moving drive

spindle with the key supplied and

screwing the disc tightly into

place.

2. Select the disc to be used which

MUST be correct disc with hook

and loop backing.

3. Press the disc firmly onto the pad

to secure it.

CONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY

1. Connect one end of the hose to the compressed air supply.

2. Remove the protective plug from the air inlet and connect a suitable hose

as shown.

WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU

ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF AIR

COMPRESSORS AND A COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

3. Turn on the compressed air supply

and check for air leaks. Rectify any

found before proceeding.

• PTFE tape may be useful for

sealing threaded connections.

4. If required, connect an in-line mini

oiler to the sander. A mini oiler

helps to prolong the life of the tool.

5. If a mini-oiler is not being used, run

a few drops of oil through the

sander before use. It can be entered through the airline inlet or via the

hose at the nearest connection to the air supply.

6. A gauze filter is fitted inside the air inlet. Ensure this filter is always in place

and is kept clean. An airline is connected to the adapter, preferably via a

quick release coupling (not supplied).

7. Ensure the trigger is NOT depressed when connecting the air line.

• Your sander is now ready for use

• You can fit a whip hose with a quick fit coupling if required

(available from your Clarke dealer.)

OPERATION

IMPORTANT: Only use abrasive sanding pads designed for use with this type

of sanding pad.

1. To start, squeeze the trigger

against the body of the sander.

2. Rest the sander on the workpiece

before starting it. Let the sander do

the work.

• The actual weight of the sander

is normally sufficient for efficient

sanding. Do not put additional

pressure on the sander, which

would only slow down the

speed of the pad, reducing efficiency and placing an additional

burden on the motor.

3. Pass the sander back and forth in wide, overlapping areas, taking care to

keep the sander moving around at all times. Avoid dwelling in one place

for more than a moment.

4. Release the trigger to stop the

sander.

5. Set the speed by twisting the

adjustable 4-speed regulator. The

embossed number should line up

with the mark on the air inlet to

show the speed.

• Speeds are stated in the

specification on page 2.

6. Always ensure the sander has

stopped before putting it down.

SETTING THE EXHAUST DEFLECTOR

The direction of the exhaust air

leaving the tool can be adjusted by

rotating the exhaust deflector.

1. Twist the exhaust deflector sleeve

to direct the air as required to

deflect air away from the

workpiece or operator

DISCONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY

1. Do not disconnect the compressed air supply hose until the air supply has

been shut down or isolated at the shut off valve and the compressed air

expelled by running the tool until it stops.

2. Refer to the compressor instruction manual for the procedure to shut down

and release the compressed air.

3. Once the pressure has been released, disconnect the air supply hose from

the sander.

MAINTENANCE

Please note that factors other than the tools condition may effect its operation

and efficiency, such as reduced compressor output, excessive drain on the

airline, moisture or restrictions in the air-line, or the use of connectors of

improper size or poor condition which will reduce air supply.

DAILY OR EVERY USE

1. Before use, drain water from the air-line and compressor.

2. Lubricate the sander daily or before each use for optimum performance.

Use a high quality airline oil either via a lubricator in the air supply system or

by placing a few drops into the air inlet immediately before use. This should

be carried out regardless of whether or not an in-line lubricator is used.

3. Keep the sander clean and free from debris.

CLEANING & OVERHAULING

1. The right angle drive is fitted with a

grease nipple to provide a facility

for lubrication of the drive gears.

After extensive use, apply a shot

of general purpose grease using a

suitable grease gun.

2. Grit or gum deposits in the

mechanism may eventually

reduce efficiency. This condition

can be corrected by cleaning the

air inlet filter and flushing out the

tool with gum solvent oil or an

equal mixture of SAE No10 oil and

paraffin. Allow the mixture to soak

into the moving parts before

draining off the excess.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE SANDER IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE

AIR SUPPLY BEFORE STARTING ANY CLEANING, OR MAINTENANCE

PROCEDURES.
